I had same problem, tried xrandr settings, arandr tried using xdotool to switch desktops - no avail
then found xrefresh sorts it.
Note: I found when testing parts of the original script above from a terminal that I had to wait a few seconds and set the LOG_FILE variable again after deleting
Modified Script below works for me fine on rasberry
`#!/bin/bash
echo $$
sleep 10s
LOG_FILE=$HOME/.kodi/temp/kodi.log
rm $LOG_FILE 2> /dev/null
/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone &
sleep 5s
LOG_FILE=$HOME/.kodi/temp/kodi.log
while read line ; do
if [[ $line == "application stopped" ]] ; then
echo "Killing kodi"
break
fi
done < <(tail --pid=$$ -f -n0 $LOG_FILE)
killall kodi.bin
sleep 5
fbset -depth 8 && fbset -depth 16
sleep 1s
xrefresh
`
@aperezm-vlex's script works, makes the desktop functional but leaves black blocks.
@GeorgeBrendanDoyle's script doesn't work for me, but I have used the last few lines of his script to make one that does work for me.
#!/bin/bash
LOG_FILE=$HOME/.kodi/temp/kodi.log
rm $LOG_FILE 2> /dev/null
/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone &
while [[ ! -f $LOG_FILE ]] ; do
sleep 1s
done
while read line ; do
if [[ ${line} =~ "application stopped" ]] ; then
echo "Killing kodi"
break
fi
done < <(tail --pid=$$ -f -n0 $LOG_FILE)
killall kodi.bin
sleep 5
fbset -depth 8 && fbset -depth 16
sleep 1s
xrefresh
none of the scripts posted work for me. I need to reboot. After using xrefresh ill get an error:
unable to open display ''
This one however worked for me:
#!/bin/bash
fbset_bin=`which fbset`
xset_bin=`which xset`
xrefresh_bin=`which xrefresh`
if [ ! -z $fbset_bin ]; then
DEPTH2=`$fbset_bin | head -3 | tail -1 | cut -d " " -f 10`
echo "found depth2: $DEPTH2"
fi
echo "kodi params: $@"
kodi
sleep 2
if [ ! -z $fbset_bin ]; then
if [ "$DEPTH2" == "8" ]; then
DEPTH1=16
else
DEPTH1=8
fi
echo "switching from $DEPTH1 to $DEPTH2"
$fbset_bin -depth $DEPTH1 > /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 2
$fbset_bin -depth $DEPTH2 > /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 2
fi
if [ ! -z $xset_bin ] && [ ! -z $xrefresh_bin ]; then
if [ -z $DISPLAY ]; then
DISPLAY=":0"
fi
$xset_bin -display $DISPLAY -q > /dev/null 2>&1
echo "display check for $DISPLAY is $?"
if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then
echo "refreshing"
$xrefresh_bin -display $DISPLAY > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
fi
This one work for Raspberry Pi 4 4GB (mine):
#!/bin/bash
LOG_FILE=$HOME/.kodi/temp/kodi.log
rm $LOG_FILE 2> /dev/null
/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone &
while [[ ! -f $LOG_FILE ]] ; do
sleep 1s
done
while read line ; do
if [[ ${line} =~ "application stopped" ]] ; then
echo "Killing kodi"
break
fi
done < <(tail --pid=$$ -f -n0 $LOG_FILE)
killall kodi.bin
fbset -depth 8 && fbset -depth 16
Hello there,
Thanks for your kodi fix and whilst I appreciate the effort taken to fix the blank screen issue, when I click on exit in kodi, the desktop is not back in full and it looks like there is a memory issue and i have to click on various parts of the screen to get the full desktop back.
Please can you suggest me if I have to adjust any other settings for this fix ?
